Middle Schools in London City

The London Middle School is the sole middle school located in the London City district in London, Ohio. Serving grades 6-8, the school faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and limited funding compared to the state average.

Academically, the London Middle School's proficiency rates on state tests range from 36.6% to 64.5% across different grade levels and subjects, falling short of the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 27.3% is significantly higher than the state average, which likely contributes to the lower academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $8,179 is lower than the state average, potentially limiting the resources available to support student learning and address the school's challenges.

However, the school does have some bright spots, such as a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, indicating that the school is effectively preparing some students for advanced mathematics. The school also has a relatively high percentage of white students (85.24%) compared to other racial and ethnic groups, which could suggest a lack of diversity or potential equity issues that may require further investigation. Overall, the London Middle School faces several areas for improvement, and addressing these challenges should be a priority for the school and district to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
